To create a better work environment, even if just a little, let’s introduce some handy little gadgets! (Great Finds)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I got a LINE message from the hardware store (power tools) I often deal with, asking, “Do you want a Makita 18V cordless drill?” I told them I’d ask everyone, so I checked with my staff, and since they said they wanted one for the job site, I bought it. It’s super…
Measures to Address Substandard and Improper Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been back on-site for the first time in a while these past few days. Being on-site really is the best, isn’t it? ^^ But anyway, there have been plenty of cases of misconduct in the past. As a result, construction management is getting stricter and stricter. I want to put an end to this. Construction defects and misconduct in slope stabilization work …
For formwork spray application, if the material inside the formwork is mortar, spray it at the same time!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you spray the formwork and the mortar inside the formwork separately? Or do you spray them together? How do you determine the finished shape? “Since they’re different types of work, you must do them separately, right!?” That’s a common topic of conversation. The finished shape is determined in advance when assembling the formwork…
Differences in Interpretation and Discrepancies in Perception
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know about this, right? lol Well, it’s common knowledge in our industry, but if you’re an anchor engineer who isn’t familiar with it, please pick up a copy. The other day, all sorts of things happened during a job, so I was poring over books. And in the end…
Method for Calculating Construction Length Based on the Amount of Cement Used in Sprayed Concrete Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, we’ll be covering quantity calculations for formwork. The other day, I wondered if I should start by explaining the basic method for calculating cement quantities, so this time I’ll walk you through how to calculate materials for basic formwork. First, the basic premise: the formwork cross-section…
Given how hot it is, I think we should make sure to fully account for the costs associated with summer construction in our cost estimates.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The hot weather just keeps on going! It’s seriously hellish during the day when even air-conditioned clothing doesn’t help. I can’t stand it. Are you eating those heatstroke-prevention jellies while you’re sweating buckets? These are seriously delicious, lol. As for the portable snacks I’ve used for heatstroke prevention so far…
Reflections on Measures to Prevent Slope Collapse Accidents
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to write about some countermeasures based on my recent article. Let’s consider a landslide accident on a slope. When it comes to measures against secondary disasters at a disaster site, there’s actually not much to do. That’s because the mountain is already sliding—so there’s not much…
Let's Consider a Slope Collapse Accident
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems there was a slope collapse the other day. From the video, it looks like the collapse started at the top of the slope. Unfortunately, it seems some people were affected, so I hope they take proper precautions. Could this disaster have been prevented? Well…
When dealing with problems, be sure to think things through carefully, keeping the subsequent processes in mind!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you handle unexpected problems that arise on-site? Do you tend to respond immediately to whatever you see right then and there? While it’s good to be able to handle simple issues on the spot, there are problems that might become issues later on…
